Hazing Lawyers Serving Blaine County, Oklahoma – Attorney 911

Fraternity & Sorority Hazing Victims in Blaine County Deserve Justice

Hazing isn’t tradition. It’s abuse. It’s assault. And in Oklahoma, it’s illegal.

If you or your child has been hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or student organization in Blaine County, Oklahoma – including at Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) in Alva or other nearby institutions – you have legal rights. Attorney 911 is currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston, and we are ready to bring that same aggressive representation to Blaine County families.

We know the same national fraternities with hazing histories operate in Oklahoma. We know universities near Blaine County have the same oversight failures. And we know Blaine County families deserve justice – no matter where the hazing occurred.

Hazing in Blaine County, Oklahoma: The Crisis Hits Home

The Same Hazing Happens Here

The shocking hazing case we’re fighting in Texas – where a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and hospitalized with kidney failure – isn’t just a Texas problem. It’s an Oklahoma problem too.

National fraternities like Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and others have active chapters at universities near Blaine County, including:

• Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) in Alva – just a short drive from Blaine County
• Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) in Weatherford
• University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) in Edmond
• Oklahoma State University (OSU) in Stillwater

These organizations have paid millions in hazing settlements nationwide – including $10.1 million in Ohio, $6.1 million in Louisiana, and $110 million in Pennsylvania. Yet the abuse continues. Why? Because universities and national organizations have failed to stop it.

Blaine County families: This could be your child next.

Oklahoma Hazing Laws: What Blaine County Victims Need to Know

Hazing Is a Crime in Oklahoma

Oklahoma has strong anti-hazing laws designed to protect students. Under Oklahoma Statutes § 21-1190, hazing is defined as:

“Any activity which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization operating under the sanction of or recognized as an organization by an institution of higher education.”

This includes:

• Physical abuse (paddling, beatings, forced exercise)
• Forced consumption (alcohol, food, non-food substances)
• Psychological abuse (humiliation, sleep deprivation, threats)
• Dangerous activities (waterboarding, extreme exposure, confinement)

Criminal Penalties for Hazing in Oklahoma

Hazing is a misdemeanor in Oklahoma, punishable by:

• Up to 1 year in county jail
• Fines up to $1,000

If hazing results in serious bodily injury or death, it becomes a felony, punishable by:

• Up to 5 years in prison
• Fines up to $5,000

Important: Consent is NOT a defense. Even if a student “agreed” to participate, the law still holds perpetrators accountable.

Civil Lawsuits: How Blaine County Families Can Fight Back

Criminal charges are one way to hold hazers accountable. But civil lawsuits allow victims to seek financial compensation for their injuries – including medical bills, pain and suffering, and punitive damages.

What to Do If You or Your Child Was Hazed in Blaine County

Step 1: Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Hazing injuries can be life-threatening, even if they don’t seem serious at first. Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), alcohol poisoning, and traumatic brain injuries can develop over hours or days.

If you experience:

• Severe muscle pain or weakness
• Dark/brown urine (sign of rhabdomyolysis)
• Difficulty walking or moving
• Confusion, dizziness, or loss of consciousness
• Vomiting or choking
• Signs of alcohol poisoning

Go to the nearest emergency room immediately. Hospitals serving Blaine County include:

• Fairview Regional Medical Center (Fairview, OK)
• Alva Regional Medical Center (Alva, OK)
• INTEGRIS Bass Baptist Health Center (Enid, OK)

Document everything. Medical records are critical evidence in hazing cases.

Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

Do NOT delete anything. Fraternities and universities will try to destroy evidence. Preserve:

If you’re unsure whether something is evidence, save it anyway.

Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Without a Lawyer

Fraternities and universities will try to control the narrative. They may:

• Offer a lowball settlement to make the problem go away
• Pressure you to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
• Destroy evidence before you can access it
• Intimidate witnesses to change their stories

Do NOT:
❌ Give a statement to the fraternity
❌ Sign anything from the university
❌ Accept money without legal advice
❌ Post about the incident on social media

Do:
✅ Contact Attorney 911 immediately
✅ Let us handle all communications
✅ Follow our legal guidance

Step 4: Contact Attorney 911 – Free Consultation for Blaine County Families

Time is critical. Oklahoma has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. The sooner you act, the stronger your case.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hazing Lawsuits in Blaine County

Q: Can I sue if I was hazed in Blaine County but don’t live there now?

A: Yes. Where the hazing occurred determines jurisdiction, not where you live now. If you were hazed at NWOSU, SWOSU, UCO, or another Oklahoma school, we can file a lawsuit in Oklahoma.

Q: What if I “consented” to the hazing?

A: Consent is NOT a defense in Oklahoma. Even if you agreed to participate, the law still holds perpetrators accountable. Fraternities and universities cannot use “consent” to escape liability.

Q: How much is my hazing case worth?

A: Every case is different, but hazing lawsuits typically recover $100,000 – $10,000,000+, depending on:

• Severity of injuries
• Medical expenses
• Psychological trauma
• University/fraternity knowledge of prior hazing
• Egregiousness of conduct (e.g., waterboarding, forced drinking)

Our current hazing case seeks $10 million. Blaine County victims deserve the same compensation.

Q: Will I have to go to court?

A: Most cases settle out of court. However, we are prepared to take your case to trial if the defendants refuse to offer fair compensation.

Q: How long does a hazing lawsuit take?

A: Cases typically take 12-24 months, depending on:

• Severity of injuries
• Number of defendants
• Willingness to settle
• Court schedule

We work to resolve cases as quickly as possible while maximizing compensation.

Q: Can I afford a lawyer?

A: Yes. We work on contingency – you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case.

Q: What if the fraternity or university threatens me?

A: Document everything and contact us immediately. Retaliation is illegal, and we will protect you.

Q: Can I sue if the hazing happened years ago?

A: Oklahoma has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. However, some exceptions apply (e.g., delayed discovery of injuries). Contact us immediately to discuss your options.
